About Us
Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity is a historically Latino-based social fraternity that was founded on April 4th,1986 at the University of Iowa based on cultural understanding and wisdom. Most noteworthy is that 16 of the 18 founders were of Hispanic-Latino origin/descent. We believe in the ideals of fairness, opportunity, and equality of all men without regard to their race, culture, or ethnic background. Our biggest goal is to see that all of society can realize the importance of these three
ideals. In order to achieve this goal, we all strive to model these behaviors and present ourselves in a gentlemanly and educated fashion.
Our Principles
Brotherhood – As Brothers of Sigma Lambda Beta we pride ourselves in creating a family-oriented atmosphere at our respective
campuses. It is this support network that we have been able to create what makes our organization so powerful.
Scholarship – Academic success and higher education is our main goal as collegiate men. It is through our brotherhood that we can
enhance academic retention and ensure a high percentage of graduating members as well as members pursuing post-baccalaureate degrees.
Cultural Awareness – A great deal of emphasis is placed on spreading cultural awareness in each of our campuses. We believe that only
through heightened awareness of the rich cultures we all share we will increase our understanding, tolerance, and acceptance of one another.
Community Service – As able men, we believe it is our responsibility to give back to our communities through service and philanthropic
endeavors. Some of our most popular service events include: Bro. Victor Correa CPR Awareness, Vote Latino, Habitat for Humanity, Relay for Life, etc.
